Nitrous oxide administration using commonly available oxygen therapy devices.
Administration of nitrous oxide is useful for providing sedation and analgesia. The therapeutic range for nitrous oxide is 20-30%. Several oxygen treatment devices have been used for administering nitrous oxide, but little is known about the concentrations of nitrous oxide and oxygen delivered to the trachea. We have studied this, using an analogue lung model, with several oxygen therapy device...
متن کاملNitrous oxide administration and hemodynamics.
EDITORIALS 211 inotropic agents (such as the catecholamines, calcium ions, and digitalis), and paired electrical stimulation. Entropy also increases during congestive heart failure, which may be thought of as an expression of a defect in the utilization of energy, a partial chemicomechanical uncoupling. The entropy of the myocardial cell tends to be reduced by negative inotropic agents, such as...
متن کاملTranscutaneous oxygen monitoring of patients undergoing nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation
The objective of this study was to assess the changes in transcutaneous oxygen tension in pediatric patients undergoing nitrous oxide-oxygen analgesia. A total of 19 healthy patients, ranging in age from 3 to 19 years with a mean age of 9.8 years, were included. Transcutaneous oxygen monitoring was performed; following stabilization, baseline readings were obtained. Oxygen was delivered at 3 I/...
متن کاملNoninvasive assessment of diffusion hypoxia following administration of nitrous oxide-oxygen.
The phenomenon of diffusion hypoxia is commonly believed to occur unless nitrous oxide-oxygen inhalation sedation is followed by "washout" with 100% oxygen for 5 minutes upon termination of the flow of nitrous oxide. When systematically studied, however, this phenomenon generally appears to be unfounded. The present study evaluated the effect of breathing room air instead of 100% oxygen in heal...
متن کاملBleomycin therapy: a contraindication to the use of nitrous oxide-oxygen psychosedation in the dental office.
Bleomycin, an anti-neoplastic antibiotic, is frequently used in combination with other anti-cancer therapy in the treatment of malignant germ cell tumors and malignant lymphomas, including Hodgkin’s disease. Patients who are receiving or have received bleomycin therapy are at increased risk of developing pulmonary toxicity if administered oxygen, and the resulting interstitial pneumonitis may b...
